Main Feature - Conventions!

Conventions are, perhaps inexplicably, back. Those of you who follow the Strong Female Leads twitter account will know that I was down at London Film & Comic Con this weekend and it was a BLAST but  there have definitely been some changes since 2019! So we were thinking - what does the future hold for this fundamental geek space?

 

Difference between virtual and in person

Less merch now and feeling less specialised BUT ALSO a growth in independent operators

Is there still a space for virtual cons?

Lessons learned (or not) - news in the press about Joseph Quinn

Are you going to change your behaviour around conventions going forward?

 

Bonus Feature - Phase 4!

Look, we bang on a lot about Marvel but perhaps you've lost track of all the telly and movies and life is short - is it worth catching up on? Can you just get the highlights?
